Joyful Noise

The Joyful Noise Choir is an all volunteer choir. All are welcome – young and old, meek and bold. The only requirements are a willingness to sing and a mind open to learning.

Choir members lead the congregation in hymnal selections and present performance pieces nearly every Sunday of the year. Musical selections range from spirituals to doo-wops, classical pieces to modern rock. From chanting rounds to four-part harmonies, the choir has something to offer for everyone.

The choir is open to all ages and experience levels and currently meets Sunday morning in the sanctuary at 9:30am with rehearsals every Thursday in the sanctuary at 7:00pm.

Relax into Forgiveness
In the last three series, we have learned how to step into the NOW in order to release Judgement so we can focus on silencing our Ego. Now that we have quieted our inner naysayer, we are free to release past pains by learning to forgive. Join us over the next five weeks as we look at forgiveness from a variety of different sources. September 8 – ForgivenessWhen we have moments of crisis they generate a defining line in our lives. If we are unable to forgive others, or ourselves, for the events that led to these moments, we scribe a deep fissure that runs through all future events, good or bad. Until we can forgive these points in our life, they will continue to haunt us for an eternity. Forgiveness is the key to releasing the pain associated with these memories. Until we can truly forgive, the events of our past will continue to hinder our growth towards a fulfilling life. September 15 – They Know Not…How much should we forgive those who have wronged us? Jesus told Peter to forgive his brother seventy time seven. And what should we forgive? While hanging from the cross, Jesus forgave those who persecuted and crucified him. Today we look at a radical story of forgiveness from Eva Kor, a Holocaust survivor, who forgave the atrocities perpetrated against her and her family in 1940’s Auschwitz.
